Filmmaking sensation Alice Maio Mackay (T Blockers, Carnage for Christmas, Bad Girl Boogey) returns with her sixth feature The Serpent's Skin, and we've got an exclusive look at the Red Band trailer for the sapphic supernatural horror, hitting select theaters from March 27, and hitting On Demand on April 21.
Co-written by Mackay and longtime collaborator Benjamin Pahl Robinson, The Serpent's Skin stars Alexandra McVicker (Vice Principals), Scott Major (Heartbreak High), Charlotte Chimes (Neighbours) and Jordan Dulieu (Before Dawn). Inspired by witchy '90s horrors like The Craft, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Charmed, the pic follows Anna after she escapes from her small, transphobic town, and the romantic relationship she develops with another young woman, a goth tattoo artist named Gen. After unwittingly unleashing a demon that begins feeding on their friends, the pair need to face their insecurities in order to defeat evil. Meet Anna and Gen in the exclusive Red Band trailer below…
Also appearing in The Serpent's Skin are Avalon Fast (Honeycomb), Joe Lynch (Suitable Flesh) and Betsey Brown (Assholes). The People's Joker‘s Vera Drew returns as editor following previously collaborating with Mackay on the festive horror Carnage for Christmas. Castration Movie‘s Louise Weard executive produced.
Those in New York can catch The Serpent's Skin in select theaters, and those in Los Angeles from April 3, with more dates to be announced. Horror fans in the UK can catch The Serpent's Skin at the upcoming BFI Flare: London LGBTQIA+ Film Festival on March 29 (but hurry – the other two screenings are already sold out!)
